[q] sm-n900 - mt6582 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have root access on the device, i have cwm installed which is version: rual autocwm v5.5.0.4.
The problem I have If I try to install any Rom it either freezes or half way through installlation returns me to cwm. I have tried to upgrade cwm to the newer versions ie touch etc and it completes the install and updates but once phone has rebooted is returns me back to the old cwm v5.5. If I do a battery pull the phone boots back up as normal and runs 4.3 and shows I have root.
Some of you might think well I have root access I should be happy however I don't just want to run apps, I wish to play with mods and custom roms so I will like some help if possible.

What do you mean 'mt6582' in the title? Is it MediaTek chipset? If the answer is yes, so you may own a fake device.
You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check if it is a original one. Go to the Menu --> 'Refurbishment Check'.

Yes it is a MediaTek chipset! I am aware its a like for like clone. My understanding is the clones with MediaTek Chip can still support custom roms?

So your device is not a Note 3, you cannot use any Note3's rom obviously.
Please use Phone INFO app to check to make sure.

[Q] Quick Noobie Question (New to Android)

When you root your android (xperia arc), only root and nothing else(didnt change stock rom or anything) will you not be able to upgrade via SEUS and you need to manually update your phone?
If you root your phone (without unlocking the bootloader) you will still be able to use SEUS.
If you unlock the bootloader (necessary to install different roms) then you wont be able to use SEUS.
thank you so much for answering..though whats the difference between the 2, i mean rooting and unlocking the bootloader?

Right and wrong.
If you unlock the bootloader and subsequently load a custom ROM, then you won't be able to update through Sony Ericsson unless you flash a Sony Ericsson ROM back onto the phone first.

Rooting is a modification of your phone that allows you to install applications that modify the system.
e.g. BusyBox & Titanium Backup, screenshot applications, reboot widgets, AdFree, Google Chat with Video (on 2.3.2), etc.
It is completely optional and reversible.
thank you so much for all the answers..

Are you sure about that? Because many of us here on XDA unlocked bootloader & we did not load any custom ROM (not available yet), but we were not able to flash our phones through SEUS
I think he is correct. I saw the same in SE forum posted by a Moderator that if we are using the stock ROM then we should be able to update it.

[Q] Get Official Status Back

Hey all,
I rooted my Canadian Note 3 using the information and guidance from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53632129
Everything went well, I now have root, I did not flash anything else but my device status in download mode and in settings -> about shows up as custom.
I downloaded the pro version of triangle away which fixed the download mode and flash counter.
However, my device status is still Custom in device settings.
I have tried downloading Xposed Framework along with Wanam Xposed and tried to use the security settings to go back to official, did not seem to help.
I want this to go back to Official so I can get OTA updates.
Still looks like this, any advice?

Make sure you have stock kernel and recovery, then use TriangleAway

I did not flash a new recovery or kernel, just rooted with CF AutoRoot and that is it, tried Triangle Away PRO version, it resets the flash counter and says official in download mode. However, in system settings -> about it says "scanning" when the phone is turned on and then goes to "custom"

There's a password to the zip, just read the page where there's the download link and you will find it

I know, i have done that but wont work
Anyone?
I used my computer to unzip then I put it on the sd card without any problem with the given password... Maybe it's just the phone software that is glitchy ? or just the file that is indeed corrupted ? Also really use a computer, because you will have to move the files and the folders anyway...

@tikilou instead of MtkDroidTool you should use MTK Engineering Mode

How to install a new ROM in the current state of my phone?

I want to install a ROM of the latest android version. I installed a custom ROM a long time ago, I honestly don't remember what I did. I think I used "wug's tool" or something like that. Here's what my phone says:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Where it says GT-I9505G, I don't think it said that originally, when I got this custom ROM it changed to that. It's an AT&T phone (U.S). I'm not very knowledgeable about this, I usually just follow tutorials.
So what method should I use? Any tutorials, links? ROM recommendations?
Thanks.
It's important to know which bootloader is on the phone before flashing anything.
I suggest installing Samsung phone info app from the play store to find the version. Once you know the version, then you can decide how to proceed.

Thanks. I checked, it's the same as the Baseband version you see on the pic.

Add screenshots of the app to check it better.
Since he already flashed a custom rom, I don't think the bootloader is locked anymore.
In theory, you just need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended) then you should be able to flash pretty much any I9505 roms.
I agree that it is unlikely that the bootloader is locked but I believe it is always good to know which bootloader is on a phone before flashing anything.
if Wi-Fi or network signal isn't good on any new rom you try you'll need to change the bootloader if you want to update the modem/baseband.
I installed the latest version of TWRP since mine was outdated. I did a full wipe as instructed in the ROM's page but TWRP refuses to install the ROM after. I keep getting "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" "Error installing zip file [location of my file/file name]". I am without OS.
What rom are you trying to flash?

Which guide did you follow, there are several in the Mods and Themes section of this device forum like this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/zip-viper4android-2-4-0-1-fx-beautiful-t3661849
And as always: you need to give detailed information about your setup(device, rom, version, mods, guide you followed, link, etc.)
